Contactless System Navigation Using Dynamic Hand Gesture Recognition

Abstract

Abstract: Hand gestures are a natural way for human-robot interaction. Vision based dynamic hand gesture recognition has become a hot research topic due to its various applications. Traditional (or conventional) methods of human-computer interaction, namely, keyboards, pointing devices, and similar physical input tools, and the more popular and commonly used touchscreens, are only as useful through the application of pressure through physical touch. The recent pandemic has driven a major argument about the substantial and often, indispensable need for contact-less operation of systems, irrespective of the scale of the industry. Say for example, supply chain systems that are handled by scores of employees in the span of a day. It is quite fundamental knowledge now, that how public systems that work on physical contact can pose as potential vectors for diseases. Hand gesture recognition can turn out to be an excellent solution to this problem; facilitating truly contact-less interaction with computing devices, and at the same time providing dependable and respectable efficiency. This approach will be further elaborated in upcoming editions of this research article.
